Rafa Garcia scored the biggest win of his MMA career, TKO’ing Jared Gordon in the third round of their Noche UFC showdown.
While Gordon outstruck Garcia through the opening round, it was Garcia who landed the more impactful strikes, wobbling ‘Flash’ with a right hand and scoring a late takedown to potentially swing the stanza into his favor.
Garcia nearly finished things early in the second, catching Gordon in a mounted guillotine choke. ‘Flash’ managed to fight his way out of the hold and wall-walk his way back up. Gordon ended up a bloody mess by the end of the round, but that didn’t keep him from moving forward and attempting to make it a firefight with Garcia.
